Popis:	This paper presents some of the results of the investigation of the possibility of using metal uranium as a reducing agent for conversion of tritiated water to hydrogen. It is found that water is reduced quantitatively by passing steam over heated uranium metal turns in vacuum at temperatures of 450–600°C and that the hydrogen yield is quantitative within the limits of experimental error of determination of 0.7%. The reduction of water gives pure hydrogen in the temperature interval investigated. Hydrogen is formed by thermal dissociation of previously produced uranium hydride which is an intermediate of reaction of water with uranium.
